MAXFLEX headers can be used in three different operating modes.

The operating mode is selected in CEBIS.

1 Grain mode.

The header table and knife bars are set to a rigid position. The grain sensors control the cutting height.

2 Manual flex mode.

When the manual flex mode is activated, the knife bar follows the ground contours. Sensors in the skids detect changes in the ground contour for the AUTO CONTOUR control system. The flexible knife bar can avoid obstacles with a 3 1/2 in (90 mm) upward flex and also follow the ground contours with a downward flex of 3 1/2 in (90 mm). With a total flex range of 7 in (180 mm), MAXFLEX is able to adapt to almost all ground conditions.

4 AUTO FLEX mode.

AUTO FLEX is a self-learning system that automatically optimizes the height of the header depending on the ground contours, offering decisive advantages:

The maximum possible downward flex range is always possible
The knife bar cuts as close as possible to the reel
It offers the lowest possible cutting height.
When AUTO FLEX is activated, the knife bar follows the ground contours. Sensors in the skids detect changes in the ground contour for the AUTO CONTOUR control system.
